You'd think they could fix up that ClearType software to support rotated displays. Seems like it would be a very simple tweak to the algorithm.


Not really. They rely on the fact that the red, green and blue pixels run from left to right to give you increased horizontal resolution (where it counts for text). If you rotate the monitor, you end up with the RGB cell running vertically, which wouldn't have as great an effect.

ClearType could always be turned off automatically, though, which would be useful. There's (currently) no way for Windows to know which way round your R, G and B are, which is what that ClearType tuning thingummy is for on the Microsoft website.
